Mr. Kitty~ma, sara. Come on, kitty, get better!
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, sarameg. I have you and MK in my thoughts. It's so hard with older pets.
My parents lost their oldest Golden yesterday morning. Kittenish is now the oldest family pet and I've spent a lot of yesterday and today just petting her.

I'll be around tomorrow, sara, if you need anything.

Thanks, lisah. I'm pretty much going to try to go about the day as normal, perhaps with extra annoying snuggles and a little bit more brutality on myself around the lake and in the pool. And cleaning the fucking house. Don't think I'm up to Yard Sale pt.2.
Talked to the parents. Decided I didn't want to spend all of my usual weekly call in tears, get the worst over tonight. There'll still be more tomorrow, but...I aired my worst predictions. So.
Think I'll be telecommuting a good part of monday. I expect I'll be taking him in for a full workup in the morning, and after the verdict? I don't think I need to be seen in public. Maybe I'm catastrophizing, but this time? Unless that swelling goes down overnight, it's pretty clear. Hate this.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am so sorry, Sara.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm so sorry Sara. Sending all thoughts for a better outcome.

Oh sara, I hope Mr. Kitty surprises you and is okay.
Had Noah's first swimming lesson of the year today. The pool was so wonderful and warm and he is READY to swim now.

Oh, sara, so hard.
Yay for Noah swimming!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hey, cool. Google Maps knows history. For most of Eastern Europe, at least, you can search for a town by its old name and the country it used to be in, and it will get you to the current name and country. I tried a few names and countries from before WWI and from the interwar period, and it found nearly all of them, even though some of them have gone through at least three different names and countries since then.
